European Super League

They just need to position as an alternative to the CL and be able to generate rights sales which rival the CL- which would mean more money flows to the individual clubs.

Start with top 4 Spanish, 4 Italian, 3 Portuguese and 3 from somewhere else all invited with the prize money being more than the CL.

Eventually the other countries will want to join as always happens in these types of things.

Let the clubs choose which competition they want to join our of CL and SL, end of season.

Either the CL will have the teams finishing 4-8 in Spain or the SL will have Barcelona, Madrid and then the other top 4 teams or the teams 5-7.

But what's important is that there is an alternative that challenges UEFA monopoly.

And to be honest the British clubs will always be problematic as they live in their little non-EU GBP sanctuary where the British want to have all of the benefits of EU membership while none of the liabilities.

Want to see how British involvement would go? Just research Malaysia/Singapore and the Malaysia Cup.

And obviously the issue not actually the CL for Perez but the huge rights differences between England and Spain leaving us uncompetitive. That doesn't change if you have a SL as the English clubs still have EPL money and can break FFP and cap rules with their oil backing and feeder clubs.

The only way for Italy-Spain to increase their rights income is ditching their national leagues and having a continental league.

So that's probably the long term play once they manage to get the SL in motion, hence why Tebas is so much against it. His ricebowl is eventually going to be stolen.

Jenksy trembling at a mere prospect of a rival competition forming as means to take money away from the British football

Bless

Brexit was indeed for the best it seems. Will in time unite continental leagues against the EPL pull

As long as we get out of this stupid LaLiga, I am a happy man.

A side-effect is that it will increase the negotiating power of Barcelona and Madrid which has been weakened under Tebas. With these clubs holding pivotal positions of power in the SL, they can threaten to sit out LaLiga if they disagree with their terms.

Hell, sit close the the Saudi's and these clubs could even participate in the SL and the Saudi League as invitationals and make way more money.

Is anyone now in any doubt of why the Negreya stories broke when they did and who was behind it.

Divide and conquer.
You really reckon if someone was sitting on a nuke like that for years they wouldn't accidentally push a button?

I think it was always there and always known in the football scenes. And that behind it there was no sporting benefit as has been proven so far.

But the timing of it being used is uncanny, and politically motivated.

Lol I'm a sucker for good conspiracies but this ain't one my man
Tebas did pawn things but window of opportunity to leak this with Barto around for years just too large for it to be premeditated

Fair enough.

Best to move back to the Super League proposal.

The PL updated their charter that their teams can't join "illegal" competitions in 2022. And being under British Law and not EU, we all know that the colonialists will only protect their interests first. But hey, atleast we might get a team from Rwanda in the Premier League some day.

Anyways, I am trying to model how a Super League format would work in say 15-20 years time. And it still doesn't stop a very valid problem. That is, the Star League (such a shit name) runs the very real risk of having the majority of those teams end up being from the most financially doped league. Be it Spain, Italy or more than likely, England if they are still in it.

According to tier 1 Source @ffpolo we will receive this amount as the courts have ruled in our favour regarding the super league.
